Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Woodyanders This amusingly goofy sequel to the tremendously trashy early 80's slice'n'dice winner "The Slumber Party Massacre" eschews serious scares in favor of gleefully inane laughs. The killer this time is some scruffy and sleazy rock'n'roll singer psycho who has an enormous drill bit affixed to the end of his guitar. This nutzoid sub-Elvis Presley homicidal lunatic stalks and murders the members of an all-girl rock band spending the weekend at a fancy condominium. Writer/director Deborah Brock plays the whole ridiculous premise for cheerfully silly humor with the psychobilly singer making for a hilariously campy villain. Atanas Ilitch has himself a hammy field day as our gloriously gonzo fruitcake wacko (his absurd song and dance musical number "Let's Buzz" rates as a definite gut-busting comic highlight). Moreover, Crystal Bernard makes for a most fetching and appealing heroine as the sweet Courtney. Better still, ravishing redhead hottie supreme and perennial 80's slasher sequel victim Juliette ("Friday the 13, Part V: A New Beginning," "Psycho III") Cummins pops her top and bares her cute little breasts. James Cummins' nifty make-up f/x really hit the gruesome spot; watch out for the divinely disgusting moment when a cute chick's hideously gigantic zit bursts open and spews forth yucky pus all over the place. Good, tacky no-brainer fun.
andell The Slumber Party Massacre franchise has the rather unique standing of being one of the few T&A slasher films of the 80's that was often written and directed by women. When the original film hit in 1982, the phallic importance of the drill, and the lines the killer used, carried a rather cynical feminist undertone. So how could a movie that saw its killer dispatched in convincing fashion in the first film come back in a unique way? Its done very well with "Slumber Party Massacre II."First of all, let me say this: the trailer is the worst I've ever seen. If you have a chance to watch the DVD release, it includes the trailer...but to give you a run down of a couple of the lines: "When Courtney Bates and her friends get together, its more than a good time...its Slumber Party Massacre 2." Its even said in a light hearted way that made me cringe even more because I think in many ways, they meant this trailer to really sell the film.Okay, to the movie. The sister of the heroine in the first film, Courtney, finds herself plagued by dreams that, contrary to what she says, has nothing to do with her original ordeal. In the original, she saw a mass murderer with a independently powered drill kill the girls next door; in this one, its a Fonzi rip off, complete with the leather jacket, slicked back hair, and guitar- the only difference is that at the end of his guitar he has a drill.For pure horror fans, there is very little here- this film is tongue in cheek scary, and really scores more of a gore factor than a scare factor. The acting is for the most part sub par, the script is weak, and there are moments in the film which will make you cringe at how cheesy they are.When Courtney and her band go up to the lead singer's parents condo for the weekend, this driller killer leaps out of Courtney's dreams and into reality, dispatching each of the band members and their boyfriends until only Courtney is left.I'd hate to ruin the surprise, but the ending is so obviously a doll house being penetrated by a drill that all you can do is chuckle.Now this would lead most to believe that I hate this film, but actually I don't. This is renaissance 80's cheesy horror, plain and simple. Not anywhere near as scary as the first, but original for what it is, and unpretentious in its cheese.In short, if you're someone who can appreciate the cheese of some of the slasher genre of the 80's, you'll enjoy this. And watch the trailer, if you'd like to have a real chuckle- its awful! If you take 80's slasher horror too seriously, or expect you'll see something as original as "Halloween" or "A Nightmare on Elm Street," this one is not for you.
jonnyleroux Absolutely chilling. If Jaws scared you out of the water, and Alien made you afraid of space travel, then watch Slumber Party Massacre II and you will never look at sleep overs the same way again! Absolutely chilling. Not only did this horrifying film take out all of the fun of slumber parties, it also ruined the fun of bad Elvis impersonators. You will be drilled, and you WILL be sung and danced to before you die... Actually, seriously, despite the low, looooooooow user rating, this one is in fact a gem. It is indeed cheeeeeeeese, yes. But the only real question that matters about SPM II is, "Is it good cheese though?" Indeed, it is DELICIOUS, frothy, rich, and hardy cinematic gourmet fromage. If you're the type who can get a good laugh out of stupifyingly bad, but fun, movies, then enjoy! I sure did.**Note: Alcohol does help some, however.
babygirl21740 This is one of my favorite horror movies of all times.I love a good 80's cheesy horror flick. I like the other slumber party massacre one's too but this one seem to be more interesting and really get you into the movie. i own all of them but this one was the best. it had some funny twisted scene's in it, but with some gore. it had a very interesting ending to it that made you wonder if it was a dream or not. I like the song's that they played in the movie, like the convertible song. i like when the two girls in the car sing it together. i wish there was a soundtrack to the movie with the song's in it, it would be cool to have.
